WARRIORS, 27 Dec 2016Thank you Tauqr for your long positive response ,really appreciated for your valuable inputs .... moreHi warrior,
Since you are on 8.0.10.0.0 from AliExpress, you are on completely different channel of ROM and I doubt AliExpress will release any updates on that channel.
For a device to receive official updates it must be on the official channel. The official ROM channel releases updates. Here channel term is used for analogy. I suggest you install latest official ROM from MIUI forum following instructions given there for corresponding method you want to choose. Since you want to go to official from un official, I recommend fastboot method as it will do a clean install. Also, I haven't personally found any problem with AliExpress ROM or find it risky..But if you can help it why not go for official.

I have Bought MI5S from AliExpress came with 8.0.10.0.0 global ROM version which was custom ROM from AliExpress.so is it safe to use this version (8.0.10.0.0)for security or malware related issues ?? In the update section its showing no update available but as you know official MIUI has version like 8.0.18.0 (Latest ) .so will i ever get update ?? .whats your suggestion should i unlock it and Flashing ROM via fastboot method ? See the problem is There is lot of uncertain issues over Unlocking device .so From 8.0.10.0.0 global ROM version to latest Global Rom will i ever get update ???

WARRIORS, 26 Dec 2016Hello tauqr , In the MIUI forum flashing tutorials for Mi 5s MIUI 8 V8.0.18.0.MAGCNDI China ... moreYou should read it in detail here http://en.miui.com/thread-149416-1-1.html
Also, a very detailed step by step instruction manual is available at the download section for each ROM flash method.
In short,
System Updates are usually small in size where you put them in a particular folder on phone, point to it and restart. Done!
Recovery update is another popular method where you install a recovery software, either a third party like TWERP or use system's own recovery software. With this method you can choose to only flash the OS partition and save your data. Your files and media will be safe.
Fastboot method is used when you want a clean install of a ROM. This can erase everything and help install other compatible ROMs.
Moreover if you don't know how to begin, you should follow the instructions as there are so many available on MIUI forum.
My personal suggestions: if you want to install an official MIUI from fake/preinstalled custom ROM from online resellers choose the fastboot method.
Also, easy way to tell fakes from original is : official MIUI has version like 8.0.18.0 while unofficial/fake have 8.0.18.0.0. Notice the number of dots in its ROM version. Also, you can always search for latest version at official site. Current latest version is 8.0.18.0 so obviously any ROM starting 8.1.x.x is fake/custom. There are risks of using such ROMs as they might have malware inbuilt to steal private data.
My personal MI5S bought from AliExpress came with 8.0.10.0.0 global ROM version which was custom ROM from AliExpress.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

mrh, as far as I know, Mi Suite still has problems, so we'll have to wait to use it to transfer files to and from PC with Xiaomi.
